I have just bought a 7950 GX2 as my Connect 3d 1900XTX did'nt like vista at all, wondered at 1st whether it was the card that had died but its fine on XP. Unfortuneatly i have'nt followed it up as the new (new 2nd hand !) card is brilliant even though i had to get beta drivers as the vista ones only showed one gpu instead of two !!

i have had nothing but trouble since upgrading to vista. X1900xtx keep overheating as well never did in xp

In real life it all seems a bit smoother, 3D 06 it scored just short of 9000 whereas the X1900Xtx hit 6000 ! I bought it for £180 2nd hand and i'm well chuffed with it (a few probs early on but its good now!) for the money. I'm reluctant to invest in DX10 till we see some proof !!

i have bought a connect3d x1550 graphics card with ati radeon graphics. i have disabled my onboard graphics shut down my pc and inserted the graphics card turned on my pc and while loading up it randomly freezes at different points. i tried to install it on xp it dident work. so i installed vista home premium because both my pc and graphics card are vista capable and the same thing happens.
i have been on all manufacturer sites but calnt find anything that works can anyone help
